Ying Nian lowered his eyes and thought about his words, then whispered, "But timing is also important, just like when it was Tang Yu's father who showed up instead of your father, if the timing was changed, everything might be different."
Yao Xiuyuan was speechless. The year had to be right and the timing was also very important. For a person's success, the right time, right place and right people are always indispensable. Just like no matter how much he felt sorry for Ying Nian, it was not their family that sponsored Ying Nian, but Tang Yu's family.
If their family had sponsored Ying Nian at that time, then none of this would have happened. Ying Nian would not have needed to make friends with Tang Yu, help him improve his grades, or spend every day with him. She would not have fallen in love with him, broken up with him, or continued to pester him after the breakup.
Timing is very important. He was nine years later than Tang Yu.
Yao Xiuyuan felt a little depressed, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Seeing this, Ying Nian asked him, "Don't you like me doing this?"
Yao Xiuyuan shook his head. "I think you have to be right. Timing is very important, so there is no if, so... you have to be right."
Ying Nian smiled at him very gently, "But if the time could be turned back and your family was willing to support me, I would probably choose your family."
Yao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and looked up at him unconsciously.
Ying Nian laughed at himself, "Before yesterday, although I was tired of Tang Yu's pestering, I never regretted our love in school days. That was a beautiful memory for me. Although we broke up, I don't want to deny this memory. But after yesterday, I felt that our meeting was a mistake. I even felt that I had never understood him. I felt that I didn't know people well. I felt pathetic and ridiculous. Did you know that I would be sitting here drinking tonight?"
Yao Xiuyuan guessed that he was having a nightmare, but he shook his head cooperatively.
"You're lying." Ying Nian said bluntly, "You can sit here and drink with me without asking anything, so you must have already known the answer."
Yao Xiuyuan smiled helplessly, "Okay, I admit that I guessed the answer. I guess you had a nightmare. You didn't sleep well last night."
"Guess what nightmare I had?"
"It's related to Tang Yu."
Ying Nian nodded. He looked at Yao Xiuyuan and said calmly, "I dreamed about him. In the dream, his face changed. It became distorted and scary, like a ghost. He walked towards me and I couldn't move. I woke up in shock."
"It's funny, isn't it?" He smiled. "He used to be my dream lover. I longed to dream about him countless times and countless nights. But now, he has become my nightmare. I wake up in a cold sweat every time I dream about him. This transformation is really funny."
Ying Nian sighed, but couldn't help laughing at himself. "We have known each other for nine years. Even though we broke up last year, we have been in love for seven years. It would have been fine if we couldn't get over the seven-year itch, but it ended up like this. I thought the constant entanglement before was embarrassing enough, but I didn't expect him to do something even more embarrassing. We really loved each other when we were in love. Why couldn't we give each other a little dignity in the end? Do we have to do things so disgustingly? At the beginning, he was trembling when he kissed me and would ask me if it was okay. But now, he knows that I don't want to, and that I will hate him when I wake up, but he turns a deaf ear to me. How could it become like this between us after so many years?!"
Ying Nian was crying, tears falling from his eyes. The emotions he had suppressed all night finally collapsed at this moment. He covered his face with his hands and cried silently. He didn't understand how things had turned out like this between them. How could the boy he once loved so much become like this? He lowered his head and cried, quietly and suppressedly, silently and painfully.
When Yao Xiuyuan saw him like this, he felt as if Ying Nian had placed a stone in his heart, making him feel heavy and depressed, and unable to breathe.
He couldn't bear to see Ying Nian crying like this, so he moved closer and held him in his arms, saying softly, "Cry it out, don't suppress yourself like this."
